PER CURIAM.

We find no gross abuse of discretion in the trial court's order granting appellee's motion to set aside a dismissal under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540(b)(1). See George v. Radcliffe, 753 So.2d 573, 574-75 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999). The underlying order of dismissal was entered for failure of appellee's attorney to attend a status conference, not for any misconduct connected to the litigation.
